I'm still in shock at all the goodies I came home with today... :shocked:
I hit a few Goodwill stores today (the first few because they were on my way... the other two, because I was nearby, but hadn't hit those specific stores in a while), and BOY was I rewarded... Check this out...
(don't mind my curious kitty... :lol: )

Granted... they are mostly knockoffs... and a few aren't even MLPs... but your eyes do not decieve you! There are five... count them, FIVE G1s in there!!!
And their worst flaws!? Tangled hair, and Moonstone has some tape residue on her side... and Majesty's horn is a bit... tweaked... :blink:
The SS ponies (Paradise and Truly! *faints* look brand new. They aren't dirty... no stains... I mean... :whoa:
Ok... better get them all cleaned up (even the fakies... I'm so excited that I can pay pennies for them... and get good trade credit for them at my local used bookstore! YAY Bookmans!!! :lol: ). I know some of the G1s will stay with me... but a few will go up in my massively new sales thread! Woot!!!
:frolic: what a great pony day! :frolic:
EDIT: Oops! I missed a couple... :blush:

Holy cow! :lol: You are very fortunate to have found so many ponies at Goodwill! :frolic: BIG congrats! Have fun cleaning them all! :thumb:
-
WOW awesome!!! Congrats, those SOSofts are so white!!!!
-
I know! I'm still in shock at the condition of the So Softs! It's just... mind boggling! :lol:
And yeah... cleaning them will be FUN... O.o I have more G3 Scootaloos than know what to do with now... :drunk:
At least the fakies only get a quick rundown before I take them to Bookmans. A clean(er) pony... will fetch more trade credit! :devious:
-
That's amazing!! Congrats!
-
Oh neat! Big congrats on the finds!
-
That is a very lucky find! Goodwill must like you, lol. I have never found ponies at Goodwill, even though there are 4 stores in my area that I have been visiting on a regular basis for years. XD Congrats!!
-
Looks like kitty wanted in on the pony action XD so cute! Awesome haul, major congrats on them all!
-
Here kitty kitty....... lol but seriously, congrats on your haul! I hate going into goodwill. Everything is always over priced, and thrown on the ground. I am happy for you to find somthing!! I love so soft ponies, there my favorites!!
-
Goodwill rocks! And congrats on the amazing finds =) I LOVE finding near-new So Softs at the thrift shop. That's how I got my Bouncy. She's so perfect she looks like she fell off the card on the way to the thrift shop.
Now, I demand that you go back today. And tomorrow. You know the thrift shops don't put out everything and there's a very high chance of you finding more if you go back :enthralled:
-
Woohoo!
-
Wow!! Those So-Softs look perfect! Congrats!
-
:woot: Oh yeah, your goodwills did you good. :good: Congratulations!

ROFL!!! Well... This particular one has never yielded anything other than the odd G3 (generally in a bag full of Fakies, which, up until now, I've avoided)... But today... it was a random decision to go... Good thing I listened to my intuition! :lol:
I think I have... 4 Goodwills, and a Savers (which is in the same shopping center as one of the Goodwills... so I always hit them together) within 2-3 miles of my house. Then there are two others... that are 5+ miles away. I've found multitudes of G3s at all of them... But, like I said... this is only the 2nd time I found G1s, (and the last time, it was a single SHS who was in rather nasty condition...)
These gals... are just perfect! :lovey: They cleaned up nicely! (tho poor Majesty's horn is going to take some time to move back into place... and she had the remnants of a rubber band in her tail... yuk!).... I'm stoked!
Too bad this doesn't happen more often! :lol:
-
Wow, that's a great find! I agree about how white and clean those so softs are :)
-
Wow! I'm extremely impressed with/jealous of those So Softs, and as a fakie fan, my mouth is watering at a few of those. MAJOR congrats n your finds!
-
How awesome! Even your kitty is excited!
-
OMG Congrats! So much pony! *_* I never find any ponies at thrift stores around here. ;_; But looks like you found an awesome haul!
To fix her horn, try putting her in some boiling water. Then hold the horn in position until it cools completely. I've fixed many a pony with bendy issues (Princess Primrose falling over, dents, and bent legs) with this method and it always works! :D
-
OMG! So jealous! What a great find, congrats!!
-
OMG those vintage ponies are so white and clean!
-
Looks like you had some awesome pony luck! Care to lend me some? ^.^ Congrats on your finds!
-
Are you kidding?!? Lucky! :faint: My goodwills all stink! :P Congrats on some fantastic finds! Those SS ponies look like they're in amazing shape too
-
HUGE congrats! The little white dream beauty fakie is SO cute! Any idea what line she is from?!
-
Wow, that is a great thrift store haul! I can't believe how many ponies you got. Major congrats :cheer:
-
Are you kidding?!? Lucky! :faint: My goodwills all stink! :P Congrats on some fantastic finds! Those SS ponies look like they're in amazing shape too

Congrats! Those are some awesome ponies, esp the G1's Truly and Paradise look to be perfect!!!!!!!!! My goodwill no longer can carry toys so Im always amazed by these posts!

3.5 Toola-Roola! That's the last one (not including the moms) that I need! I'm jealous. That's a lot of pony goodness. I haven't been able to leave the house since Monday due to whether.

I TOLD you to go back! :silly:

I TOLD you to go back! :silly:
:accomplished: Honestly... if mom hadn't wanted those Smurfs so bad (apparently they are one of her "memories" of me as a little girl... she says they predate the Pony craze. I sorta disagree... but hey. :lol: )... I wouldn't have gone back!
And guess what... I wanted to hit the Walmart that is nextdoor to that SAME Goodwill... so I dropped in again this morning...
:dropjaw: :dropjaw: :dropjaw:

That is one... ONE bag o' ponies.... :shocked:
O....M...G!!! Whatever I did to find favor with the G1 Goodwill gods... I'm wondering if I should hit it AGAIN tomorrow... :drunk: I wonder if I can find a way to get Hubby up that way again tomorrow. :lol: I don't think he realises the frequency that I've been hitting Goodwill lately... :devious:
Honestly... I didn't mean to turn this into such a "gushing" thread... I'm just... ASTOUNDED at my luck this week! :happy: I mean... 13 G1s from Goodwill... really only TWO Goodwill stores... in 3 days.
The only thing that would have made it better... would have been if some HTF pony had been in one of the bags! :lol: But the prestine SS ponies sorta fill that... :lol:
-
WOW! Great finds! It sounds like me! I can go to a local Goodwill and get VERY lucky and come back home with over 20 ponies :3

*nod* yeah... same here. But 99.9% of the time... those 20 ponies are G3s... :lol:
-
Yipee! That is quite the windfall!
I love the cute, nosy cat. She must be excited by all the new smells!
-
I had a run like this once. I went back every day for a week and found new G1's every day. It's because they don't put out everything at the same time, even if it was all donated at once. I'd keep going back until I didn't find anything if I were you ;) Especially if it's not too far out of the way!
Look at the hair on that Lickity Split... So pink and pretty =)

Look at the hair on that Lickity Split... So pink and pretty =)
Sadly... she has a pretty deep CHOMP in her foreleg. :( Someone bit clear thry the plastic.
And she has a lot of flocking loss on that same leg... and all hooves.
But yeah... SUPER pink hair! :lol: I might deflock her... even though she has a hole inher leg... and keep her that way... :D
I'm really glad Bowtie cleaned up nicely! My childhood gal... uh... had a run in with scissors, and a 4 yr old who was REALLY unhappy she had a new baby sister... :lol:
Poor thing is still sporting that awful buzz cut... and is missing her tail. :(
-
Wow you did great Lady B - the goodwills by us no longer sell toys unless un-opened boxes.
-
Big congrats! Looks like some awesome goodies in there :)
-
Wow. That paradise looks brand new! Congrats.
-
Oh my god I'm jealous of the so softs!
-
Wowee! You sure are having a lucky streak :D Congrats!!
-
Congratulations on a great pony haul!!!
-
Wow. Those so softs look perfect. :)
Congrats on all of your pony finds! :)
-
Great find!! Looks like your cat likes them too! XD
